Well ths is an interesting project purely because my first idea I stuffed up on. I was given a triangle finished board for helping a friend. We have no idea what it was made of. It is heavy and very dense. Its solid. So in all my wisdom I thought I could use it as a coffee table top.

Board I was given.

However I broke a drill bit trying to do a pilot hole, and when I got to the stage of attaching the under carriage it all went down hill from there. All was going well, till I got to the last screw and it would not go into the board... then all of a sudden it punched all the way through and counter sinking pretty deep into the board I was attaching... a few nasty words past my lips, the cat ran away and the sun darkened and the wolves howl as the words got worse... well you get the idea...

I thought about it for a second a few more words were spoken and thought bugger it... I'll make my own triangle with some respectable usable wood...

So I set off a cutting, setting the mitre saw to cut 30 degrees (left and right) Three bits to make a triangle under carriage. This will make a equilateral triangle (technically)

We have the under carriage for the coffee table. Gluing and screwing it together. Triangle is harder than you think to clamp...

Under carriage and old table top before I did the opps bad word section.

Cutting bits shorter and shorter till we have a triangle.

Making the new table top parts.

Gluing the new table top together. You can never have to many clamps... I could have done with a few more. Once these set, start gluing the bigger bits together. The hard part will be when I glue the top or the cap of the triangle on and trying to clamp that...
